Thank you to all who donated Mothers’ Day and other cards for Operation Write Home. Those cards are bundled up and will be sent to OWH early this week. Because of the drawdown in Afghanistan, there are less requests for cards. OWH asks that card makers send fewer cards, and that they be mostly non-seasonal so that they will have a longer shelf-life. Any hero cards/letters are always appreciated too! We will continue to send boxes from the shop, but they will be less frequent (boxes are sent based on holiday demands, otherwise only when there is a “full” box).

Note that if you still have some Mothers’ Day cards that you want to donate to OWH you will need to mail those yourself. We can no longer accept them at the shop. Be sure that they arrive at OWH on or before the March 31 deadline. You can find the mailing address here:http://operationwritehome.org/guidelines/

Join us for our make & take on Thursday 1-6pm and Saturday 1230-330pm. $1 per card limit 3 of each design. I generally post pictures of the cards on facebook by Wednesday and I try to get them on the website also when I don’t have them ready for the newsletter. While you are on my Facebook page, I’d love to have you click the “Like” button…..if you do!
